Ariadne is a Monte Carlo parton shower generator.[1] It was the first parton shower program that formulated parton splitting not in terms of partons (except for the splitting of a gluon to a quark-antiquark pair), but in terms of radiating colour dipoles, each connecting a quark-antiquark pair. As such, it is the original dipole shower program.

The Ariadne program also includes the Dipsy model, as well as the rope hadronisation model implemented using Pythia for describing hadron formation in environments where there is a high colour charge density (such as a heavy ion collision).
